The Gaia-ESO Survey: Calibration strategy (2017)
Journal Article
Pancino, E., Lardo, C., Altavilla, G., Marinoni, S., Ragaini, S., Cocozza, G., …Koch, A. (2017). The Gaia-ESO Survey: Calibration strategy. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 598, A5. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201629450

The Gaia-ESO survey (GES) is now in its fifth and last year of observations and has produced tens of thousands of high-quality spectra of stars in all Milky Way components. This paper presents the strategy behind the selection of astrophysical calibr... Read More about The Gaia-ESO Survey: Calibration strategy.

Peculiar architectures for the WASP-53 and WASP-81 planet-hosting systems (2017)
Journal Article
Triaud, A. H., Neveu-VanMalle, M., Lendl, M., Anderson, D. R., Collier Cameron, A., Delrez, L., …West, R. (2017). Peculiar architectures for the WASP-53 and WASP-81 planet-hosting systems. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 467(2), 1714 - 1733. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx154

We report the detection of two new systems containing transiting planets. Both were identified by WASP as worthy transiting planet candidates. Radial velocity observations quickly verified that the photometric signals were indeed produced by two tran...

The role of the van der Waals interactions in the adsorption of anthracene and pentacene on the Ag(111) surface (2017)
Journal Article
Abreu Da Silva Morbec, J. M., & Kratzer, P. (2017). The role of the van der Waals interactions in the adsorption of anthracene and pentacene on the Ag(111) surface. Journal of Chemical Physics, 034702 -034702. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4973839

Using first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT), we investigated the effects of the van der Waals (vdW) interactions on the structural and electronic properties of anthracene and pentacene adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface....

Facile adaptation of 1D Mn(ii) chain motifs to form 3D azo-pyridine-based coordination polymers (2017)
Journal Article
Ako, A. M., Hawes, C. S., Twamley, B., & Schmitt, W. (in press). Facile adaptation of 1D Mn(ii) chain motifs to form 3D azo-pyridine-based coordination polymers. CrystEngComm, 19(6), 994-1000. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ce02493a

We report the synthesis of a simple 1D Mn-azopyridine-based coordination polymer, poly-[MnII(NO3)2(OH2)2(azopy)2]·2MeCN (1) (azopy = 4,4′-azobis(pyridine)) and its use as a convenient feedstock to afford two 3D coordination polymers, namely: poly-[Mn...

Mechanistic insights into the formation of porous carbons from gelatin (2017)
Journal Article
Danks, A., Hollamby, M., Hammouda, B., Fletcher, D., Johnston-Banks, F., Rogers, S., & Schnepp, Z. (2017). Mechanistic insights into the formation of porous carbons from gelatin. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 5(23), 11644-11651. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6TA10517C

Porous carbons are important for many energy applications. The biopolymer gelatin provides a simple and sustainable route to functional carbon foams with multimodal porosity. In this paper, small angle neutron scattering is applied alongside other te... Read More about Mechanistic insights into the formation of porous carbons from gelatin.

Single strip solid contact ion selective electrodes on pencil-drawn electrode substrate (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). Single strip solid contact ion selective electrodes on pencil-drawn electrode substrate. Analytical Methods, 1213-1220. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6AY02860H

A simple and low-cost approach for the preparation of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is proposed as a favorable alternative to traditional paper-based electrodes. This involved the application of graphite from a simple household pencil via mechanica... Read More about Single strip solid contact ion selective electrodes on pencil-drawn electrode substrate.

Binding of Myomesin to Obscurin-Like-1 at the Muscle M-Band Provides a Strategy for Isoform-Specific Mechanical Protection (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). Binding of Myomesin to Obscurin-Like-1 at the Muscle M-Band Provides a Strategy for Isoform-Specific Mechanical Protection. Structure, 107-120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.str.2016.11.015

The sarcomeric cytoskeleton is a network of modular proteins that integrate mechanical and signaling roles. Obscurin, or its homolog obscurin-like-1, bridges the giant ruler titin and the myosin crosslinker myomesin at the M-band. Yet, the molecular...
